Achieving the Dream guides colleges through a transformative change process designed to enable more students to earn certificates and degrees, improve their economic prospects and support their local communities.

As an Achieving the Dream member, Olympic College has access to leadership and data coaches who will help the college improve the availability and use of data to develop programs that will improve graduation rates for all students. Achieving the Dream has pioneered a powerful, evidence-based Institutional Capacity Framework and assessment tool that assesses colleges across seven core capacities: . Leadership & Vision . Data & Technology . Equity . Teaching & Learning . Engagement & Communication . Strategy & Planning . Policies & Practices A culture of evidence is embedded into all seven capacities, reflecting the need for colleges to incorporate data-informed decision making across their value systems. Achieving the Dream embraces the principle of “systemic change” as the college works to implement and sustain holistic changes that improve student outcomes.
